Pelosi downplays Obamacare votes

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi left the door open to support any immigration-related bills that Speaker John Boehner brings to the floor. And she downplayed the significance of two Obamacare bills Republicans plan to bring up for a vote on Friday.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she would support a bill that is “credible and that has a real validity in terms of moving us toward a conference.”

“I’m sure people will be as accommodating as possible to move forward,” Pelosi told reporters on Thursday morning.

While opposing the two bills the House will vote on Friday, Pelosi tried to downplay their significance.

She called a bill that would require disclosure of health information leaked from the system “silly,” saying that no personal health information is collected through the HealthCare.gov website.

On the second bill, she said it just creates more bureaucratic work to keep the system going. She said if Republicans really support the principles in the bill, it should be extended to Medicare, a move that would cripple the program.

“I would say no to the first one and heck no to the second one, but it’s not a big deal,” she said.
